PICKPOCK ETS.

Day before yesterday Henry Myers, de-
teciive of the Santa Fe, was robbed CT fine
gold watch upon the New York store corner.
The pickpockets made away with the watch
and have neither been captured nor the
stolen property recovered. MIR. Myers, who
is very pleasant gentleman with many
friends in the city, takes his loss quite good
naturally ard enjoys the joking that the
boys have been irduiging in at his
expense. He is, as is well known,
one Of the most sklllful of the
detectives in the employ OF the Santa Fe road
and has been employed 10 find members of
the light fingered gentry who indulge in such
amusement as be himself was made the vic
tim. This is perhaps the first time he ever
met with a like experience but it is the first
time that he ever fell under the direct in
Guence Of an enteiprising, skillful, Wichita
pickpocket.
ut is good time" remarked gentleman
yesterday, that we were beginning to hold
on pretty tight to our pocket books and
watchs, when a man as familiar with the
criminal classes as Mr.. Myers is, falls a vic
tim TO their skilful lingering"

A CHURCH DEDICATION.

Though the Dodge Avenue Presbyterian
church on the West Side has been used fol
nearly year it has not been formally dedi
Gated as house of worship. There were al
least two reasons for this delay. First, when
the house was built there was no congrega.
ton. Previous to the erection OF the church
ne attempt had been made by the Presbyter-
ians on the West Side to gather congrega-
ton. A Sabbath school had not been organ
lied nor were one public religious service
held. Second, it was not the wish or policy
of the officers and authorities of the church
to make the dedicatory service a great en-
ginery for abstraeting money from the aud
itols. 1t was desired to have the church paid
for before it was dedicated
These two reasons for delay no longer
exist. A congregation las been gathered
and the church paid for. 1t only remains to
pay for the first church bell that rang its
echoes from the West Side, and perhaps the
best church bell in the city.
The dedication service has been set for
next Sabbath evening, tho first of May.
Rev. j. D. Hewitt Of the First Presbyterian
church will preach the sermon. He will be
assisted by the pastor Of the church and
others in setting apart the house to the
worship of God J. BROWN.

"CLDSING BATTLE?v

Quite a sensational scene was a part Of the
programme in Douglas avenue joint near
Lawrence avenue last night. A number of
the boys had collected and were quaffins
rather extraordinarily owing, it was claimed,
to the nearness Of another Ksnsan drouth
Finally the gang was supplemented by
another crowd, who rushed up the steps
singing This is the last day OF the Wichita
joint; this is the last day OF tho Wichita
joint" with a chorus, GLORY, glory, turn
the hose on us; glory, glory, turn tia hose
on u.s." Reaching the door, it was lifted OF
its hinges and in they went, song and all.
The irate faucet manipulation, who was not
in a good humor en- general principles, raised
the howl and went to pitching beer, bottles
and oil, at the corners. He was assisted by
tbs old gang, and than scene was presented
which battles word-painting. When the
curtain fell the usual result was noticeable.

SWINGING AROUND.

Mr. Csstatsr the proprietor Of the Real Is
tate grocery on East Oak street is the owner
of Texas pony possessed of at least the US
ual amount Of cussedness attributed to ami
mails of its kind
Yesterday forenoon Mr.. CastAsero' soa had
hitchsd up the little fellow to light spring
wagon and was holding him by long rope,
something passing frightened this animal
and he commenced trying to get away, but
failing in this he commenced going
around a circle IS far as the rope would ad
NIT him. The hoy held on the rope for dear
life and the pony continued his revolutions
kicking and bucking at every step. The
little wagon was turned over but this fact
did not interfere with the circular move
ment of the pony after tie seat aud dash
hoard had both been broken off At last
toe little scamp fell exhausted TO the ground
and was thus easily captured. The wagon,
however, was q wreck. and the boy who held
on SO tenaciously 10 one end of the rope was
as badly frightened a youth as i. usually
seen.

LAST DAY or JOINTIsM!"

Last night was big night for the joints
They were running with throttle wide open
and it seems that there were a good many
throttles on deck. 1t was not a difficult mat
ter to tell where the joints were The stair
way was more brilliantly lighted than usual
the inpouring but not outpouring crowd was
dryer than usual, and even before reaching
the bar seemed to talk in animated tones.
1t would not have taken an expert newspa-
per man to have caught on to the fact that
something stirring" was in the wind. This
would have been the natural conclusion Of a
that manner he would have detected that the
leading topic Oh the streets WAS about the
Joints closing" The cause for this disson-
tinuing of business was variously stated.
Some claimed that but day CT two ago
two men arrived in the city who were
agents, 1t may be termed of the attorney gen
eral of the state, who were making the visit
for the purpose of making a report concern
ing the joint question. As a result OF their
visit and the supposed intentions of the at
WI uoy 6SuSt "a eho SAty 60'CA AA1CuV LOO given
out the imperative command to close the
joints this morning. An old time jointist
stated last night that he had been notified by
the police to sell nothing after last night.
The word was stop" and stop" it wasunder
all circumstances. If he or anyone else VEN
tured to disobey this order they would be
given punishment to the full extent of the
law and pulled every fifteen minutes if they
were not in Jail or on top a rock pile. Ee
expressed it as his intention to shut up the
shop and take vacation" at least Posi-
bly, he might join tho California excursion.
1t seemed to be the jointists opinion that
an end was bound to coma and If the city
did not give tho command halt it would be
given from the state authority and that
would be by far more Objectionable than TO
quit at the bidding of tia city. He did not
relish the idea OF metropolitan police
Thought it would be a stigma on the city for
the word to go abroad that Wichita could
not govern herself in that particular.

HE SAYS ITS WICHITA.

Hon. j. II. Miller, of Princeton, Indiana, is
numbered among the late arrivals. He has
been here number Of times, having made
his first visit some years sgs> He has always
conceded that a large city was booked for
the southwest, but did not know exactly
where it would be located until the last year.
He thinks that the location is now evident
and no longer is it question concerning the
lucky point
His every visit to the city, he afllrms. has
resulted in increasing his faith in Wichita.
This visit is no exception. The great I'M
provement since his visit prior to this, though
only few months ago, he thinks is Of the
character that is eminently suited to building
a city. That improvement is building and is
stuff" that makes cities.

BASE BALL.

An effort is again being made to form a
base ball club in the city. There are great
many gentlemen of the city who think that
what Wichita wants is good well organized
club, and say that if they will combine there
can easily be gotten together goodly num-
Der Of expert players who will bring no dis
credit upon the greatest city of Kansas. Mr..
Walden says that he will See with what en-
couraaement tie project meets and if the peo-
tention to the matter and believes that, even
this late in the season strong club with ex
pert players can be organized. This, he
further adds, is the kind that should be or

GLANCED orr SUMNER.

Yesterday in conversation with a promi-
nent Rock Island man some rather interest
ing information was gained concerning that
company's proposed line through Sumner
county. 1t seems that some time ago the
right of way agent for the company entered
that county on the north for the purpose of
securing the right of way. He travelled
from the north line of the county to Wei
lington and found only three farmers who
their land. The others asked prices ranging
from twenty-five to seventy-five per cent
above. The amount asked was not paid by
the agent and the matter placed before the
county commissioners. That body met last
Tuesday and held session lasting the re-
mainder Of the week, deciding Saturday last
to charge the company much more than they
paid in this and other counties in the state.
The news was sent to the company's head
quarters and Monday the wires carried the
word to suspend operations In the COUNT.
As a result all work has ceased. Itisalleqed
that it is the company's intention not to en-
ter the county. The Territory will be gained
by going either east or west Of it. By the
former route the line will pass through Har-
per county, tapping Anthony. By the lat
ter route reach Winfield and Arkansas City
The former route seemed to bs considered
the most favorable, as part OF the work
done in the south part of this county would
not be lost. The bridge across the Arkansas,
now nearly completed, would be utilized, and
by the latter route the road would NOT cross
the river in the state
1t is also stated that some hirelings of the
Santa Fe spent several days In telling the
people owning the land to ask the
prices, assuring them that the
company would be compelled to pay it. 1t
$ also claimed that the Santa Fe got in its
work on the county commissioners by intro
lucing the cant help it" argument. 1t
semed to be the opinion of the Rock Island |
gentlemen that the argument was very, very |
allacious |
